Adaptation Strategies

Global climate change is happening. Regardless of the debates concerning its cause, its impacts are real and significant. These impacts: extreme weather events, sea-level rise, temperature increases for some and reductions for others, mass migration, changing productivity of agricultural systems, and variable availability of natural raw materials (amongst others) will have significant effects on business and society. Furthermore, we are entering a period of resource scarcity and resource price rises. Peak-oil is approaching and there are significant transition movements emerging from the consumer. Add that to increasing demand for oil and other natural resources price stability will be a thing of the past.
